Overall Rationale: What I would rank the top 25
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Still #1 until they lose |
| 2 |
Indiana Hoosiers
|
They dominate opponents they should beat |
| 3 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
Can they go at least 2-2 in November to clinch a playoff spot |
| 4 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
still don’t know how FSU beat them |
| 5 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
Lost to bama so will stay below them unless bama loses |
| 6 |
BYU Cougars
|
Can they pull off the upset in Lubbock and be a legit playoff contender? |
| 7 |
Ole Miss Rebels
|
Favorable schedule to end the season will be shocked if they don’t make playoffs |
| 8 |
Oregon Ducks
|
Resume isn’t the strongest but the team is still good |
| 9 |
Texas Tech Red Raiders
|
Will be a playoff lock if they beat BYU |
| 10 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
I know they lost to Miami but they just look like the way better team |
| 11 |
Virginia Cavaliers
|
Can they finish strong to make the acc championship game at 11-1 |
| 12 |
Louisville Cardinals
|
Lost Head to head to UVA |
| 13 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
I know Texas won but Mateer was hurt and no bad L |
| 14 |
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
|
still alive but that’s a bad L to nc state |
| 15 |
Texas Longhorns
|
dominated Vandy, can they win out to make the playoffs? |
| 16 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
They will need some teams to lose to get in |
| 17 |
Vanderbilt Commodores
|
Looked awful against texas but they’re in if they win out |
| 18 |
Utah Utes
|
Dominated Cincy, probably need help to be legit playoff contender but still alive |
| 19 |
Missouri Tigers
|
Beau being out for the year ruined any legit playoff chances, will be unranked if they lose to A&M |
| 20 |
USC Trojans
|
Head to head over Michigan |
| 21 |
Memphis Tigers
|
G5 playoff favorite but they will need to win out |
| 22 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
Bad Win against Purdue is why they’re so low but never apologize for a win |
| 23 |
Pittsburgh Panthers
|
Bad L to WVU but they’re have been playing well for over a month |
| 24 |
Washington Huskies
|
Moved in due to other teams losing |
| 25 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
No “good” wins but they’re have been taking care of business and played Indiana well |
